A Goddam CPU and GPU that are Worthy of the Next Gen title.
- 8 Core 3 ghz CPU
- Dual NVIDIA 760 GPU setup (Think the popular and economic 560 sli)
- 4gb DDR3 Ram

I would be happy to shell out $500-$600 for that knowing that it will actually last me until 2020.

Agreed, actually.

Would be awesome if the GPU part supported Dynamic V-sync and the new Anti-aliasing from nVidia (what's it called again - FXAA? TXAA?)

too bad nVidia's licensing policies are too cost prohibitive for them to ever be considered for consoles ever again...

YOU would be happy to but YOU wont single handidily keep a buisness going. Consoles need to be cheaper than $500 to be a sucess. If there was a $600 console the ps3 would be fresh in everyones mind and you know how well that went. I know people want the latest and greatest hardware well too damn bad.

sorry but #5 will never happen. too much opportunity for abuse...

Aside from the voice chat part, none of this seems essential to me. Probably because I'm not big on multiplayer games. I like to play games and chat with friends. That said, I have Skype for chat anyway, and my computer is pretty close to my game consoles.

The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline

Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.

That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.

If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition

I never knew Ross Scott was doing this

I love Freemans Mind

People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."

This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.

Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
